Bonded in fuel cap flange in left wing. Cut relief in upper skin for landing gear actuator cylinder. Note: The gear actuator clears the skin but not by much so I decided to relieve this area locally to insure that there would never be any interference in this area.

Here's something nobody wants to see, my wing with a big hole in it after closing. As it turns out there was a pretty severe dip in the flange that runs along the forward wall of the fuel cell. This caused a large gap between the tank flange and the upper wing skin. See the other photo for today to see a close-up of the gap. What I did - Cut a hole in the wing skin, injected Resin/Qcell in the gap and then laminated some fiberglass in the area of the flange/wing skin joint.

Laminated 4 layers of cloth along the bottom seam. I used my saran wrap method here, after the layers of cloth are on the part I lay a piece of saran wrap (or other thin plastic film) over the lay-up, this way I can work it down and eliminate bubbles by hand while still being able to clearly see the laminate. The saran wrap will be carefully peeled off after the laminate cures.

Manufactured horizontal stabilizer tips. The molded stabilizer tips had to be split with a saw and laminated closed on the ends to get the correct shape (see tape holding shape while curing). Then a two layer laminate (see clamp) was bonded to the inside of the end of the horizontal stabilizer to give a stable surface to hold the tip for additional inside laminates. Stabilizer tips were laminated to horizontal stabilizer. Elevator counterweight arms were laminated on the inside. These are very difficult laminates. The opening is very tight and the glass wants to stick to everything. Finally applied pre-preg layers to a folded piece of thin cardboard. Then slipped the cardboard in the small opening and used a skinny stick to hold the laminates in place while I pulled the card board out. Then used a small brush on a stick to finish the job. Make sure you sand the inside BEFORE you close the elevator. (See inside of tip in picture 4/28/99)

Recessed mounting plate for Fuel Vent Float Valve in right I rib. The wing is thinner at this forward location and the FVFV interferes with the wing joggle if not recessed. 2 layers of BID were added prior to mounting to provide an attach point for the upper wing near the FVFV. (this is an alternate mounting location since we mounted the Vision probe aft to remain clear of fuel caps)

After moving the wing jig so the end lined up with the door to the house (so the fuel probe could be installed thru the door). The jig was re-leveled and the holes for the probe were drilled. The chalk line drawn (actaully snapped) before the fuel baffles were installed was extremely valuable in alignment and drilling of the holes for the probe. Probe extends all the way to the center of the wing (A rib). Unused fuel probe (cut off) is shown near end of probe.

Constructed garage ventilation device from a gable fan and 2 sheet metal flanges bought at Home Depot. After riveting and cutting metal for 2 days I know what the RV guys are going through. It connects to the 6 X 12 garage vent on the wall near the ceiling and forces air out of the garage. We open the door to the house, turn on the fan and the smell goes out and the cool (or warm) house air comes in. It keeps the smell out of the house. Actually the smell is not bad at all. Much better than epoxy!

Oil Cooler Installation
Roger Heisdorffer told me that this setup has worked very well for him, now keep in mind that he Has a G I with a IO360 A1A with 10 to 1 pistons, (so he really has about 220HP +or-. And he has lived in AZ where it does get hot. And one more thing, his oil Cooler is a standard GI sized oil cooler. I believe he claims his oil temp never gets Above 190*. Anyway I used this setup with the III oil cooler just to be safe, I figure If a little is good a lot must be better. I purchased my cooler from Chief for $569.00 PN SW10614R (I believe the People at Chief gave me that inf. because other GIII builders were buying oil coolers From them instead of paying Stoddards inflated prices).

Fuel Probe Support
Fuel probe support in the extended fuel bay. Since Vision Micro requires that their probe be supported within the last four inches if there is no other support within 12 inches of the end, a block was made from two pieces of 1/2 foam. A counterbore on the interior sides of each piece allows room for epoxy/flox to hold the probe bushing in position. The two pieces are bonded together with epoxy/micro and bonded to the skin with micro. A layer of glass in on each face and 2 layers are laid up over the top to strengthen the bond with the wing. - Glasair, Wing, Interior, Fuel

Picture shows all of the fuel system installations and other steps in Chapter 7 of the Lancair Super ES Fastbuild Manual. - Glasair, Wing, Fuel
Extended Fuel Bay, Filler & Vent
Shows the fuel filler ring for the lockable gas cap option. The ring had to be milled .055 from the outer portion of the outer face of the ring to permit the filler to be mounted from the inside, per instructions for the conventional fuel filler asembly. This allowed the filler ring to protrude through the opening in the top skin and be slightly above the surface. When the wing is painted, the ring and the cap will be flush with the top skin. - Glasair, Wing, Fuel

Lancair Super ES: Wing Attach Bracket
Shows the bracket installed. The slot in the fastbuild kit was too narrow and had to be ground out in some places to allow the bracket to be installed. In addition, the some of the holes in the fiberglass were not large enough to get the bolts through. Two were not perfectly aligned with the holes in the bracket. These holes had to be enlarged slightly to permit all of the bolts to be installed and torqued properly. Two bolts required 2 washers instead of the one specified. - Glasair, Wing
Lancair Super ES: Pitot Tube on Left Wing
Problem here was that of attaching and detaching the electrical and pressure connections to the tube. A larger access hole had to be made in the end rib to allow access and easy connections. - Glasair, Wing, Electrical
Lanceair Super ES: Wing Bottom Skin Fitting
The most critical step so far is number 7D. The gap between the main spar and the lower skin is set by putting 3 resin/flox pads on the spar and squeezing them down with the bottom skin installed and the cradles clamped tightly. This sets the overall height of the main spar and the height to which the spar is built up in subsequent steps. The factory tech support says that between 500 and 700 pounds of weight and cradle clamping will be needed for wing closeout. A good bond at the main spar is essential and the weight helps achieve this. - Glasair, Wing

autopilot pitch servo installation
Pitch servo installed on 3/4 thick mounting pad. This is easily varied depending on the individual installation. The thing to watch here is that the rudder cable clears everything. I used the standard S-H mount brackets. The pushrod for my installation is about 12.5 center to center, once again it is easily varied. I made the pushrod from .032 x .5 4130. Nothing special about the size, it just happened to be what I had sitting around. - Glasair, Rudder, Servo, Controls, Autopilot

Moving a Glasair project
Converted the wing jig into a dolly by adding 6 casters. Added a floor to save space, and put the flaps, ailerons and other parts under the wing to save space in the 24 foot Ryder truck. Put foam pipe insulation between the wing and the jig to help cushion the wing. - Glasair, Wing, Flaps, Moving
Moving a Glasair project
Used a hand truck to roll the wing / jig up the ramp. The casters were mounted on 2X4s that extended wider than the ramp for stability. - Glasair, Wing, Horizontal Stabilizer, Moving
Moving a Glasair project
The fuselage went over the wing to save space for everything else. Tools, parts, misc. airplane parts collected over the years added up to a full load. The forward fuselage support is cushioned with foam, and the aft fuselage is supported with foam on the wing directly over a rib and a jig support. The only damage was on the engine mount, where the big cardboard box that contains the rudder kit rubbed against the powder coat and removed some of the paint in an area about 1/2 inch long. It did not go through to bare metal, but if you move a project, check for rubbing between parts / boxes. - Glasair, Wing, Engine, Rudder, Fuselage, Paint, Moving

Formica panel
Pic of Formica glued back-to-back for instument panel. The holes were cut using a Starrett 3 1/8 bimetal hole saw from the face side. The small cutouts for the altimeter and VSI were rough cut using a Dremel hobby jigsaw and then filed to final shape. I used the template from Panel Planner software to locate the holes for the main cutouts and the screw holes and they are right on the money. I held the template in place with double face tape. There are still a number of holes to cut yet...clock, suction guage, etc. The color of the Formica is not my favorite but it was cheap and this is a go plane and not a show plane. - Glasair, Panel

Fuselage Paint Fixture
This fixture lets me roll the fuselage about 35 degrees to each side,easing prep & painting. It consists of two posts on a 44 x 72 rolling frame, and plywood bulkheads fastened to each of the wing attach points. The posts are drilled 56 above the shop floor for a 1/2 pivot bolt, and the bulkheads are drilled 3 above WL100, which is about the level of the door pin sockets. This appears to be close enough to the vertical CG that the fuselage will stay in any position without bracing or undue friction. The rear attach point is near the longitudinal CG, so the posts are offset forward on the rolling frame. Plywood cradles fit the same frame to more securely hold the fuselage for transport & with the engine attached. With these dimensions the top of the tail is 91 above the floor. The height above the floor was chosen by judgment of the painter to provide access for spraying the paint. When rotated so that the horizontal & fin tips are the same height, it would clear an 86 door. At full lean, the fin will just clear my 83 door, so I can push it through the door until the horizontal is outside, and then roll it to one side to clear the fin. - Glasair, Wing, Engine, Fuselage, Paint, Horizontal Stabilizer, Moving

GAIII nose gear up-lock
When testing the emergency gear down system (duel actuator option ) on our GAIII we discovered that the up-lock hook would not release consistently when the up pressure was removed. The problem seemed to be low spring force and binding in the release mechanism. The binding is probably due to the mechanisms geometry which produces a large bending moment at the actuator rear attach point. If the up-lock hook is not released when the up pressure is removed, using the back up actuator on the duel actuator system will only drive the up- lock stud into the hook even harder. The included pictures are of a system designed by Dace Kirk. It is a much more robust design that works every time. - Glasair III, Gear, Glasair

Allen Rockwell's Hangar
Two weeks after moving in to the hangar it is starting to come together. The wing will be in it's jig soon and the rest of the shipping crate plywood will be used to finish the not-so-dusty room (it's not a clean room, but it will be good enough) in the right-hand back corner where all the avionics work will take place. Allens Glasair Super II-S is the one on the right, Gregs Super II-S is the one just getting started on the left. Builders: Allen Rockwell and Greg Sadowy - Glasair Super II, Wing, Moving, Glasair

Laminating Inside of Gear Doors
Laminating the fiberglass and graphite on the inside of the main gear doors. The manual does not specify graphite here but I thought it would be a good idea to add a little stiffness here to prevent the doors from twising and possibly ripping off the plane if the gear is extended at high speed for some reason.

Greg Sadowy's Fuselage at 4 feet AGL
Greg Sadowy's fuselage up in its building jig. Greg built this jig a little higher off the ground than most so that he can easily get in out of the fuselage and can mount and operate his nose gear while the fuse is still in the jig. The only drawback that we've seen so far to this jig design is the possible need for a small step ladder for working on the top of the fuse and/or a small (1-2 foot tall) scaffolding type thing for working on the vertical and horiz stabs. - Glasair Super II, Fuselage, Glasair

John Burnaby's Franklin Engine
Finally got my engine running on the test stand. The intake manifold is my own design and construction of Kevlar and carbon fiber. Fuel injection is Bosch KE Jetronic from a 300 E Mercedes, modified to accept manual mixture input, ignition is Lightspeed Engineering. Headers by Kenny Duttweiler, Burns Stainless provided the collectors in mild steel and Performance Coatings in WA sprayed the 2000 deg Satin Coat. Starter is a Tilton Engineering small block Chevy unit. It spins the 10.5 : 1 compression engine so fast I could probably use it to get home in an engine-out situation - Glasair II, Engine, Induction, Fuel, Glasair
John Burnaby's Franklin Engine
LSE trigger coils, mounting plate, trigger bolt holder. After an initial problem with the mixture control design, I redesigned it and built another iteration and I am very pleased to say that everything works well. The timing needs to be dialled in for max power, but that will have to wait for flight trials. It's been a lot of work, but hearing the Franklin crackle to life and that big cam idling like a funny car brought that grin to my face - Glasair II, Engine, Controls, Glasair

My Latest Panel Design
This is my latest panel design, 9/29/99, subject to change a million more times between now and first flight. The top GPS/COM is the primary COM, the bottom GPS/COM is used as a NAV radio and backup COM. The CDI is slaved to the bottom GPS/COM, the color multi-funtion display is driven by the top GPS/COM.
The radio under the transonder is a Sony AM/FM - MiniDisk player (CD's skip in planes, MiniDisk is a better solution). Everything in the radio stack except for the MiniDisk player is Garmin. - Panel, Glasair
